Nice-to-Have: * Video streaming domain knowledge: codecs (H.264/HEVC, ideally AV1), container formats, HLS/DASH, OTT encoding workflows * Prior forward-deployed, solutions architect, or professional services experience at a SaaS or media-tech vendor * Experience with Bitmovin or competing encoding platforms (AWS MediaConvert/Elemental, Harmonic, MediaKind) * Live streaming and 24/7 operations experience: incident management, on-call You don't have experience with all the points above? Don't worry, we will support you with learning, training, and coaching on the job. ## Description * Contribute production code to the encoding stack (Java/Kotlin, C++) as a full member of the Encoding team''s sprints * Own our US enterprise accounts technically during EU off-hours: triage and troubleshoot encoding issues, drive incidents to resolution or a clean handover * Debug live, distributed systems under real customer pressure: log analysis, error diagnosis, network traces, reproducing issues from limited information * Travel to customer sites to support integrations, run technical workshops, and handle escalations * Feed what you learn in the field back into sprint planning and the product roadmap What success looks like (6-12 months): * You''re shipping production code in the Encoding team''s sprints, not just triaging issues * You''ve become the trusted US technical contact for our largest media and streaming accounts, and off-hours response times have visibly improved * You''ve defined a repeatable playbook for triage, resolve-vs-escalate, and clean handovers to the EU team * You''ve run at least one on-site customer integration or workshop end to end * Field learnings from your accounts have shaped sprint planning or the roadmap at least once * The EU team trusts you to own US hours solo. Your async updates are clear enough that Europe picks up where you left off without friction. * You''ve built a clear picture of how customers actually use our product day to day, and turned it into documentation the product and engineering teams actually rely on.
